Is riba (interest) haram?

Short answer

Yes. The Quran forbids riba and announces war from Allah and His Messenger against those who do not give it up (2:278-279). The Prophet ﷺ cursed the one who takes it and the one who gives it, and counted devouring riba among the seven great destructive sins.

Quran

ٱلَّذِينَ يَأْكُلُونَ ٱلرِّبَوٰا۟ لَا يَقُومُونَ إِلَّا كَمَا يَقُومُ ٱلَّذِى يَتَخَبَّطُهُ ٱلشَّيْطَٰنُ مِنَ ٱلْمَسِّ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّمَا ٱلْبَيْعُ مِثْلُ ٱلرِّبَوٰا۟ ۗ وَأَحَلَّ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْبَيْعَ وَحَرَّمَ ٱلرِّبَوٰا۟ ۚ فَمَن جَآءَهُۥ مَوْعِظَةٌۭ مِّن رَّبِّهِۦ فَٱنتَهَىٰ فَلَهُۥ مَا سَلَفَ وَأَمْرُهُۥٓ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ ۖ وَمَنْ عَادَ فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلنَّارِ ۖ هُمْ فِيهَا خَٰلِدُونَ ﴿٢٧٥﴾

Wancan, dõmin lalle ne sun ce: "Ciniki kamar riba yake."Kuma Allah Ya halatta ciniki kuma Ya haramta riba.

Kuma wanda ya kõma, to, waɗannan sũ ne abõkan Wuta, sũ a cikinta madawwama ne.

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ ٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَذَرُوا۟ مَا بَقِىَ مِنَ ٱلرِّبَوٰٓا۟ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ ﴿٢٧٨﴾

Yã ku waɗanda suka yi ĩmãni! Ku bi Allah da taƙawa kuma ku bar abin da ya rage daga riba, idan kun kasance mãsu ĩmãni.

فَإِن لَّمْ تَفْعَلُوا۟ فَأْذَنُوا۟ بِحَرْبٍۢ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦ ۖ وَإِن تُبْتُمْ فَلَكُمْ رُءُوسُ أَمْوَٰلِكُمْ لَا تَظْلِمُونَ وَلَا تُظْلَمُونَ ﴿٢٧٩﴾

To, idan ba ku aikata ba to, ku sani fa da akwai yãƙi daga Allah da ManzonSa. Kuma idan kun tũba to kuna da asalin dũkiyõyinku, bã ku zãlunta, kuma bã a zãluntar ku.

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَا تَأْكُلُوا۟ ٱلرِّبَوٰٓا۟ أَضْعَٰفًۭا مُّضَٰعَفَةًۭ ۖ وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ ﴿١٣٠﴾

Yã ku waɗanda suka yi ĩmãni! Kada ku ci riba ninkininki, riɓanye, kuma ku bi Allah da taƙawa, tsammãninku zã ku ci nasara.
